Treadwright tire users question

[Hpimichael02]

Guys so I was forced to by a set cause I got 2 nails stuck in two tires, it was the cheapest bet so I stuck with 32" cause I had a dental visit that turn into 700$ with insurance fml,

So I got them mounted 300 miles ago, being anxious I hit a local dirt trail ones I was on when my stiff was stolen, well I did the same thing I did with my street at tires , some climbs over small log on the trail and such I noticed 3 days after that my tire was at 15 lbs of air in it, that's flat to me so I filled it up thinking I may of pushed the bead off or sumthing, so I filled it to 55 lbs and then lowered it down to 35 in hopes to fix a bead issue, well nope I lose about 5lbs a day while the other are holding great, could this be a defective tire ? Btw it took nearly 4-7 oz of weight on each tire to balance WTF

spray some soapy water on the beads and around the valve stem. If it bubbles there is your culprit.

[tbangert]

Yeah I would try the soapy water method first. Could be that the bead of the rim had some dirt in it and causing it to leak a little. I havent had any issues with mine and I have close to 10k miles on them so far.

What do u inflate them to front and rear, 35 seems low in the front, but I'll do that, will it work even with a slow leak ???

[Gordinho80]

Not related to your leak... but why did you put the 2 new tires on the same side of the vehicle? What kind/size tires do you have on the pass side? How many miles are on those tires? Why wouldn't you put the new tires in the rear and move one of the older tires to the front, or vice-versa? Or I am seeing this incorrectly and you have all 4 new tires?

[Hpimichael02]

Lol Mario I did buy 4 tires cause they needed replacing cause they were bald , they were the only two pics I took

I have not experianced any airloss issues with my treadwrights I air down everytime I wheel and air back up to my usual psi and I loose about the same as regular tires so on that aspect I would go with what everyone is suggesting to check for leaks. Also I know with my tires I was sent a warning label for the tire shop as to how the tires should be balanced, I know from talking to my other friends about treadwright that heavier lead is needed if you don't follow the instructions that come with the tires. My tire shop did as the label said and it was just like anyother tire. However these tires are retreads and will never be perfect but for what they cost they are still a damn good tire IMO

35 is higher than I ever run.

The soap may work with a slow leak but for finding it you may want the tire off and something you can put half the tire in water and then you can see both side and if any ai bubbles come out. We used an old wash trough in high at the gas station. I would definitely check the valve stems though. Lots of places are rough on them and they can develop small leaks pretty easy.

[Hpimichael02]

They only have 300 miles on them but I took it to the shop and the found a tiny crack it was so small the guy couldn't find it again when he took the tire from the water , but they patched it ,

Sadly just checked it and it lost 2lbs over night

[Hpimichael02]

I too once had a problem along time ago and they were VERY quick to remedy the situation to my satisfaction. They are a great product and they stand behind there products 100 percent at least that's been my knowledge so far.

So a few weeks ago Kyle noticed some cracking on my Treadwrights. It was mainly on the spare, but some small places on a couple of the other tires. I got a couple pictures and mailed Treadwright last week. Here are the pics...





This afternoon I got a phone call from their shipping department telling me that they do not have a 4 ply BFG carcass, however they do have what I wanted in a 5 ply and asked if that would work. I of course said yes, and I have 5 new tires in route to me tomorrow.

Later this afternoon I got a mail from their warranty dept indicating "I am sorry to see that you have experienced this issue and I am going to have a replacement set of five sent to you. We believe this cracking is due to a shipment of rubber we received from a supplier whom we have stopped using due to it."

When I talked to them I asked what I needed to do with the old tires and I was told to just leave them on the truck until it was truly necessary to replace them. They said that the tires are still safe to drive on, and that I just need to keep an eye on the cracks and replace the tires when they start to increase on the road tires.

Wow, now that's customer service. I have seen alot worse than that run. Those should last a long time, and with another set you should be set for awhile!!

[irishboy02]

Wow, thats incredible. So not only are they throwing you another set of tires, for free, its an upgrade, for free.


....wow

Sounds like they either have a supplier with good insurance or a good mark up in the tires. If they're as good as everyone says you'll never need another set of tires!
